  • We deserve a choice at a granular level. But when they give us a choice, so many of us will reject Ai on various grounds like speed or efficiency, and not see the cool feature they’re sure we’ll love if we just give it a chance (so much wrong with that thinking, too).

    Thus we choose on a less-granular level when we can. It’s creating an exciting gap into which competing products can flow; and thrive, just by not using LLMs.




  • IT.

    Injured out of infantry and poored out of college but landed a shitty little ISP job. Started one to beat that one, because they were sleazy like used-car salesmen. Left embezzling biz-partner to do coding-adjacent job in NJ and stop being startup-poor. Kept working. Fast forward.

    I only regret I was unable to use my skills to relo for new jobs farther away like some of my peers.

    Bill Gates spent a lot of his pro years running a bad company quite well, and exploiting a dominant position in the market that any soulless biz guy would love to have.

    He seemed to get a conscience around the time he stopped running the show, and seems to be different while not regretting his behavior in that phase.

    I think we can decide he was a bit of a cock back then, while still noting he’s done some good work since. We are nuanced enough, right?
